One Paddle, Two Paddle

I look outside my lanai (balcony), and what in tarnation are these girl paddlers doing running up and down the Ala Wai sidewalk making all kind big noise?

They're cheering fellow paddlers on. Full crews usually consists of six paddlers instead of two paddlers. Just to make things interesting, they're racing with each other. As with all things ohana, everbody gets a turn to make the grade. Funny thing is that once the paddlers switch roles with the cheerleading squad, "pick in up....that's all you get, etc." Or you're the holiday turkey, LOL.

yah - will get worse. Most of those "talking" are middle age types - expressing their machoism. I live at the 10 mile mark of the marathon. I go out to watch the lead group - and they are quiet - just whoosh by!
